Note: Incorrect adjustment may cause serious accidents. Check the adjustment at least once a year.
1. The headlight has screws for horizontal and vertical adjustment (see fig. 8.4 a).
2. There are several adjustment methods. The simplest method requires a level surface and a wall at a distance of 8 m.
3. Apply vertical marks on the wall corresponding to the center of the car and the centers of the headlights.
4. Apply horizontal marks corresponding to the center of the headlights (this can be easily done by moving the car a few centimeters away from the wall).
5. Adjustment is carried out with the vehicle at normal height without passengers and a half-empty fuel tank.
6. Start by adjusting the low beam: the spot of greatest brightness should be located 5 cm below and to the right of the intersection point of the horizontal and vertical marks of the headlight centers.
7. The spot of greatest brightness of the high beam should be exactly at the intersection of the marks. If it is impossible to comply with both adjustment conditions, achieve the maximum compromise.
8. The most accurate headlight adjustment is at a service station.
